Directions

1. In a 3-1/2- or 4-quart crockery cooker combine water, beans, undrained tomatoes, corn, carrot, onion, undrained chili peppers, bouillon granules, chili powder, and garlic.

2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours or on high-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours.

3. For dumplings, in a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and pepper. In a small mixing bowl combine egg white, milk, and oil. Add to flour mixture; stir with a fork just until combined.

4. Drop dumpling mixture into 6 mounds on top of the bubbling soup. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 30 minutes more or on high-heat setting for 20 minutes more or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (Do not lift lid while dumplings are cooking.) Ladle into bowls and top with a dumpling.

This soup is absolutely delicious. Low cal too! I've made it numerous times and it never fails to please the crowd. The cornmeal dumplings are perfect with it and something different, or just serve it with prepared cornbread. Freezes well. I cut back on the green chiles, as I don't care for it too spicey. Definitely one of my favorite recipies! :)
